Last week was a first for me, making a shaped card, but so many of you players really inspired me to branch out and try it more often. FUN.

Just like our newest challenge...

Popsicles, ice cream cones, candy, cakes, you name it! Put it on your CAS project and link it up for a chance to win BIG!And I do mean BIG!Our sponsor this week is PSA Essentials. Just wait until you see what they are offering to the TGIF winner... you won't believe it!

On to my card:

I fondly remember eating lots of toothpick popsicles when I was a kid.

Plain old juice or perhaps kool-aid poured into ice cube trays and then frozen?

We would shove toothpicks into them once they were slushy to have something to grab onto when frozen solid.

Cheap and delicious...at least to my 8 year old self. *chuckle*

Some of you know that orange is my all time favorite color. My living room walls used to be orange, but now they are a pale sea blue and I have orange accents all over with our white furniture. How about some inspiration from Pinterest?

See where I'm going with this?This card was meant to be.

Be sure to play along with us this week for the GRAND PRIZE, by linking your CAS Sweets & Treats project up at CAS-ual Fridays!

I have a busy week at work so in the interest of my suddenly dwindling time, I will be keeping this short.

I made this for fun a few weeks ago and am finally posting it.

These BG stamps make me happy because they go all the way across a horizontal card base! No offense meant towards PTI, but it drives me bonkers to attempt to line up their BG stamps to fit a card oriented this way. Both Practicing Creativity Designs and WPlus9 make longer strips of clear stamps. *love*

I was feeling shabby the other day and after playing with some bits and pieces, this card came together pretty fast. The crazy part is that it was the first time I'd ever inked up Button Boutique by PTI. Don't know why I waited so long.

I love these pins.

They were purchased from this Etsy shop last year sometime and I am totally hoarding them!

I'm a left-handed crafty girl who loves to cook, stamp, sing, read, and be creative. I love lima beans and despise peanut butter. I'm a card carrying member of the grammar police, and a self-proclaimed hot tea snob who loves cheap wine, pillow fights, and lengthy tomes. I believe in human kindness. What makes you tick?
